WOULD YOU ENLIST TODAY, TO JOIN THE WAR ON TERROR, IF THE MILITARY WOULD HAVE YOU?

self | 6-29-2004 | self - vanity - poll

[BagCamAddict]

If there were no restrictions on age, weight, fitness, etc., would you sign up to join the War on Terror??

This is a vanity poll, due to the news today that the Army may be dipping into the Individual Ready Reserve pool. Several Freepers have indicated they would go if called upon, but they don't think they will be called due to their age.

Please post ONLY ONCE, and ONLY IF YOU WOULD GO, so that we can easily see the tally by looking at the number of replies.

Age 41 - would love to go if they'd have me.

[eastsider]

Would go in a heartbeat.

[TomServo]

Heh - I could do it again. Provided I was allowed a little PT "catchup" time.

[vetvetdoug]

Would go as E-6 or 0-3.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Damned straight. Got recalled to active from IRR, but failed the physical (hypoglycemic). bummer....big bummer.

ES out

[stompk]

I'm 37 and was let out of the Navy 15 odd years ago.
I'd go back in a heartbeat. but when I called they said I was too old :-(

I thought they were desperate?

[HOYA97]

Age 43 - Bags are ready!

[RightthinkinAmerican]

Age 40 - me too, only if I had a guarantee that GWB would be my CIC.

[South40]

I would, but one thing concerns me...that being the very real chance John Kerry can hoodwink enough people to vote for him and he becomes the next commander in cheif.

[expatguy]

Age 41 and I awould go as long as my mission was clearly defined to kill.

[AIBC]

Age 44, hardware and network engineer in very good physical shape, swimmer. Is there a millitary branch that will take me?

[Lunatic Fringe]

Only if I could be a Marine and put burlap sacks on terrorists heads.

[joesnuffy]

I'd go in half a heart beat...

[Ronin]

Yepperdoodle!

Not sure what I could do, but if they would take me, I would go. 45, fat and half deaf.

[bad company]

I tried. too old, too busted up.

[OrioleFan]

Age 53 - yes, if the arthritus doesn't return. Gotta get back into shape...

[Logic n' Reason]

Age = older than the F100 Former Air Force vet and Army Vet (E-1 through E-5; O-1 through O-4).

Would volunteer and go in a New York minute.

[tje]

I enlisted during the Viet Nam war.. don't see why this would be any different.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Age 48 and would go in an instant. My biggest regret in life is not serving when I was younger (and a stupid lib).
